Underground Odyssey (2)

As light bathed their surroundings again, Cecelia nervously turned to her companion.

After jumping away with her earlier, Blaine was holding her tightly in his embrace.

While she was close enough to fully appreciate his toned muscles, Cecelia still felt more than just a little awkward with their current appearance.

Moving Blaine's hand covering her mouth, she caught Blaine's attention.

'Are we safe now?' She silently mouthed.

Too scared to risk making a sound, Cecelia decided to simply play it safe.

The long-eared creature from earlier had disappeared entirely, with only a sizeable viscous crimson puddle attesting to the fact that it ever existed in the first place.

Somehow, the 'Darkness Monster' had consumed all of it, not even leaving a scrap of flesh or a bone behind.

Feeling a chill go down her spine, Cecelia wanted to leave this disturbing place as soon as possible.
